PINK MONK'S HOOD Aconitum Napellus Carneum Perennial Monkshood Wolfsbane 5 Seeds

Description

Aconitum Napellus Carneum
Aconitum is commonly known as aconite, monkshood, wolf's bane, leopard's bane, mousebane, women's bane, devil's helmet, or queen of poisons. These herbaceous perennial plants are chiefly native to the mountainous parts of the Northern Hemisphere, growing in the moisture-retentive but well-draining soils of mountain meadows. Though grown in many gardens, these plants are
extremely poisonous
even to the touch, and must be dealt with carefully.
Aconitum are cultivated in gardens. They typically thrive in well-drained evenly moist garden soils like the related Hellebores and Delphiniums, and can grow in the shade of trees.
Aconitum plants are typically much longer-lived than the closely related Delphinium plants.

Germination
As with many perennial seeds, these seeds require a period of moist cold to help them begin to grow. This is done by giving them a cold 'winter' period (artificial or natural), and then a warming to simulate 'spring', and time to grow! Here's how this can be done:
Obtain a planting container that has
holes in the bottom for excess water to drain. Place the seeds just under the surface of a sterile seed-start mix, and water. Place them in a clear plastic bag (to retain moisture), and in a refrigerator for 5-6 weeks. Once the cold period is completed, place the container back at room temperature for them to germinate. Be sure to keep the soil moist during this entire germination period. Seedlings will sprout several weeks after the warming period. They require some patience, but are well worth the effort!
These seeds can also be planted in a cold frame outdoors in very early spring, while the temperatures are still cold and fluctuating, as long as you are able to keep the soil consistently moist. They will still need several weeks to germinate.

Due to seed inventory shortages, and increased demand, shop early for best selection! Once sold out, we will no longer have seeds for this growing season. Orders are reserved when placed!
Ornamental use only. Do not eat any of our seeds, or the plants or parts that they produce! Due to the fact that about 80% of all plant species are not edible to humans and/or animals (contain toxins/poisons of some kind) these are likely to be poisonous.
These seeds are fresh! As with most seeds, if you are not planting your seeds right away, they are best stored in a cool place until you are ready to plant them.
We grow many of our seeds ourselves, which helps ensure that your seeds are fresh and are true to variety! Those that we cannot grow ourselves are obtained from reputable suppliers.
